I don't think one single person in history has ever negatively affected the stress and anxiety of so many people on a daily basis before.
![There are accounts recorded by Machiavelli during his time spent with Cesare Borgia during his diplomatic trips.[48][49][50] Machiavelli found that he could be at times secretive and taciturn, at other times loquacious and boastful. He alternated bursts of demonic activity when he stayed up all night receiving and dispatching messengers, with moments of unaccountable sloth when he remained in bed refusing to see anyone. He was quick to take offense and rather remote from his immediate entourage, yet he was very open with his subjects, loving to join local sports and cutting a dashing figure. However, at other times, Machiavelli observed Cesare as having "inexhaustible" energy and an unrelenting genius in military matters, and also diplomatic affairs, and he would go days and nights on end without seemingly requiring sleep.[18]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kfdpph6ygisslpmiyh5dsm7m/bafkreieawrq6tewxl5xkbvynyfupydemwgsz5bfrx7opnsv6d55bnzczea)
